Dilip Oommen, Chief Executive Officer, ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India), stated that the demand for steel in India would increase due to the country's low per capita consumption and the government's focus on infrastructure development.

When asked about the company's plans for acquisitions, Oommen referred to the list of previous acquisitions that began with the acquisition of Essar Steel from the bankruptcy court in 2019.
